Dan's P.O.V.

Finally, it was christmas! Phil would come over to dinner and I had a present for him. Hopefully, he'd like it. It was his first christmas - I still couldn't believe it - and I wanted to make it as perfect as possible.

Obviously, I wanted to look good. I already compensated that I was completely in love with Phil and maybe, he returned my feelings. I mean, he was gay. So, it could be. But I still wasn't sure if Phil knew that I was bi - maybe even gay. Well, actually I didn't really like boys - just Phil. Yes, it was weird, but what could I do? He was incredible! I still couldn't believe how people hurt him for being gay. The doorbell ripped me out of my thoughts. I went downstairs and opened the door for Phil.

"Happy Christmas, Dan!"

"Happy Christmas, Phil."

I gave him a hug and he came inside.

"It's so cold!"

"Yeah, but the snow is really pretty."

"Yeah, that's right."

"Okay, come into the living room!" I dragged him with me.

"Wow, the Christmas tree! I've never seen one, you know? I just know them from the television."

"Really? Aw, but now you have!"

He giggled and my mom came into the room.

"Phil! Happy Christmas!"

"Happy Christmas, Mrs Howell!"

"By the way, dinner's ready!"

She went into the kitchen again. Phil and I followed her and sat down at the table. My father was already there.

"Oh, Happy Christmas, Phil!", he said. My dad always was in a good mood on Christmas. I loved that.

"Happy Christmas!"

We started eating and talked about everything, from the promotion my dad got to the woman my mom met on the train. It weren't really interesting things, but at least we talked to each other. After the dinner, we sat down in the living room and watched a Christmas movie.

"Here, Phil, I got you something", I said and gave him the present.

"Dan! That wasn't necessary! But.. wait a moment.."

He stood up, walked out of the living room and came back with a little present and sat down beside me again.

"I got you something too."

"Phil! You didn't have to!"

"But I wanted to, and you bought me one too!"

"Yeah, okay.. open yours first!"

Phil took his present and unpacked it carefully. He looked at the Muse T-Shirt and smiled. I did the same.

"Wow! Thanks, Dan!"

He gave me a hug.

"Really, thank you."

He sounded as if he hadn't gotten a present in years.

"It's no big deal."

"Yes, it is, but open yours now!"

I unpacked the present and looked at the CD.

"You bought me From Under The Cork Tree? Oh, Phil, I lov- I mean, uhm, thanks! Really!" I gave him a quick hug to hide my red face. Fuck. Great, Dan. I love you for that? Really, really well done! Fuck! My parents were looking at me as if I was crazy, but what did Phil think? I was such an idiot! But then I felt his arms around my back and sighed relieved.
